While "Gunpla" is a portmanteau of "Gundam plastic model", this subreddit is actually dedicated to the practice of building all mecha models. Here are some examples of what we highly encourage you to post here:

General Gunpla discussion

What's important to note is that first and foremost, we are here because we love building robots. Calling this subreddit r/Gunpla was just an easier way of saying "for those who love building robot model kits", even though we're not strictly about Gundams. However, out of respect for our many Gundam fans, our primary focus will be on the building of Gundam robots.

POLICIES:

We are avid followers of Wheaton's Law, which states, "Don't be a Dick!"
(IF YOU ARE WARNED BY A MOD ABOUT THIS AND CHOOSE TO CONTINUE BEING A DICK, YOU WILL BE BANNED)

Non-mecha models are not allowed (e.g. no Dragon Ball Z kits, no tanks, no airplanes, no cars, no capes).

Pre-assembled action figures are not allowed (the First Grade line of Gundams squeak through and are acceptable posts).

Any unrelated/off-topic posts are not allowed.

Picture posts/albums should be a direct link to the picture/album. Please post all other related pictures and commentary (including information on the Gunpla) in the comments.

Photos of hauls (boxes and unbuilt kits) should be posted in the monthly haul thread!

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to contact the mods!

It's speculation that Bandai will release an X Divider expansion for the MG GX. Personally, I like the idea of an X Divider expansion for the GX MG release. It follows more with the GX's progression throughout the series.

Honestly it seems arbitrary for them to release what is essentially just the GX with an add on as separate MG. For HGs, it makes sense to have two different models due to the fact they are not as high quality as MGs.

But who knows what will Bandai do with the MG Gundam X models. It is apparent we're gonna see releases of Air Master, Leopard, Double X, and hopefully some of the mono-eyed suits from Gundam X as MGs.

"For HGs, it makes sense to have two different models due to the fact they are not as high quality as MGs."

How does that make sense, the quality is the same, the part count and complexity is just reduced.
Bandai have released many "arbitrary" MG kits in the past.
-Sinanju OVA, why not just sell the bazooka separate for the Ver.Ka.
-Crossbone full cloth. Just add on parts for X1 ver.Ka
-Rezel commander. Just new packpack
-MG GP01 Fb. Just some armour swaps.

Bandai have more kits like this to come. MG Jesta cannon and Banshee Norn being top contenders.

It works out sort of as an alternate ending to the UC timeline (there's a war involving Newtypes as the backstory). My only real complaint is it was rushed at the end, as X has the dubious distinction of being the only Gundam series to be cancelled. I think it may have been up against Evangelion or something, so that's no big surprise.
